sending a link

[Scud]

Hi guys;

 

I have created a php form whereby users have the ability to upload a file to the server. After they click the submit button the form input is sent in an email with a path to the uploaded file. Whilst the email provides the direct path to the file it is not linkable. How do i do this. The code which sets the path is;

 

        $body .= "\nPath: http://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/$target";

 

How can i change it so the path becomes a link in the email?

is this possible?

most emails will detect that anything starting with http:// is actually a link, and they should do this automatically for you. You can however sent html emails where you would add the html code to link it:

$body .= "\nPath: <a href=\"http://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/$target\">http://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/$target</a>";

 

hop this helps

similar to above, that code simply sends the path in the email with the <a href> tag around it. It is still not a link, strangely.

Anyway to change the code to make the path in the email linkable?

From the looks of the one line of code you posted, you are sending a plain text email.

To do what WebStyles is suggesting you will need to send html emails.
